I was going to buy a book for my young ladies birthday (which i just realised is on sunday) which see really wanted (along with a few other things). Unfortunately see's somewhere the other side of the atlantic. so buy book from amazon - £15 Wrap it in nice paper and write card - time and £4ish Padded envelope to send it - £1 Postage (and i'm not exagerating on this, i check for another package which was half the weight) - Min £18 Chance of getting it there in time - not a snowball in hells chance. total £38 and hassle for present not being there on time Alternatively. Buy it from Amazon US Cost of book inluding postage, wrapping service and next day delivery £14 First WTF on the difference in price on the book. It costs twice as much at amazon UK and its a book published in the UK. Secondly, what a fantastic service. Wrapped and delivered for £3. I'm going to use it for all my christmas presents |
You've gotta love amazon

Good old Amazon - closing down an independent bookshop near you. 
Nah seriously, they're a boon. Especially if you want the ending of a book spoiled in the review.
